Springboks v Wallabies

[KiwiMurph]

I'd love to know Hodge's completion % on long kicks - he always makes the distance but his success rate must be awfully low

[Tim]

Great chase.

Has Skelton ever played really well at test level?

[KiwiMurph]

Woeful grubber by Wright - by grubbering so far away from the defensive line you make it so much harder for yourself

[Tordah]

Both teams looking pretty rusty, but I doubt either of the Argies or the ABs will be looking much better in four hours

[Tim]

Kitsoff vs Alaalatoa is a big advantage for SA.

[Tim]

Australia is going to struggle to generate quick ruck ball, SA might run away with this.

No miracles for Eddie. Rennie was not the problem.

[Tordah]

too easy for SA there. Shit defense on the blindside, not much Vunivalu could have done alone against two

[KiwiMurph]

Liking this new Bok 10 a lot - attacking mindset, lovely passer, can punt well.

[Tim]

Tom Hooper is a solid Super Rugby player at this stage. Shouldn't be playing test rugby.

I saw him grab his shoulder after getting crunched in a carry earlier. Wonder if that's why he went off

Also - why don't Wallabies play Valetini at 6.

Is Skelton an experiment or will they persist with him through to the WC

Boks suddenly not looking rusty. They are scary.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Playing with impressive pace. Dominating the ruck area.

Yeah have looked a lot better after a shit first 20 mins. Helped by an inept looking Wobblies outfit. Has Quade had the ball yet?

[Victor Meldrew]

Some of the wobblies are looking a tad unfit.

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph He's a 7 playing at 6 - weird, eh. Especially when they are carrying the other Hooper out there.

[Tordah]

very rough penalty against Vunivalu and Samu there. Would be fuming if that went against the ABs

[Tim]

@Tordah Yeah, shocker.

[Victor Meldrew]

Boks moving the ball away from the ruck area really quickly

[Tim]

Alaalatoa straight down again.
